Javier's progress report

Hi Javier, thanks for the update. I think we just don't do a lot of fats now, but I can see how if you are keto you might have to? My fave fat is butter, which I use sparingly. It is really the only fat I "like" and I think tastes mean something. I use a little olive oil and a little toasted sesame (on the occasional salad). I use a little coconut oil (often for beauty, but sometimes for things that I want extra fats and don't want to go overboard with butter.). I do not avoid meat fats and slather the meat fat from the pan over the meat and sometimes make gravies. I do throw out chicken skin as that does seem to me to be higher in vitamin A (although also delicious like butter... maybe I shouldn't?)
My husband and I are experimenting with a little bit of intermittent fasting to help with "housekeeping". Nothing crazy.
